Description
Summary:In significantly flooded places these changes become disastrous and result in S. hirculus perishing. The hydrological changes of the habitat modify also the morphometric traits of essential structural elements of S. hirculus individuals. In the conditions of ecological stress (the higher level of water) nearly all indices gradually become lowered. The annual tendencies of S. hirculus morphometric changes are analogous to the development of floral shoots and runners. It takes several years for the initial state of a S. hirculus population to recover after normalization of the hydrological regime.
